The Mets and Padres are discussing a trade involving first baseman Eric Hosmer that could then involve New York flipping Hosmer to the Cubs.
Possibly Mets would flip Eric Hosmer after acquiring, per sources. This trade is not done but it continues to be a serious possibility. Current shape is Hosmer, Paddack, Pagan for Smith. $25-30 MM to Mets. Then another trade, perhaps to Cubs, moving Hosmer.There's a lot of moving parts in the potential Padres-Mets trade, including the money San Diego possibly would include to offset the remaining $59 million owed to Hosmer through the 2025 season.
Like Rizzo, Hosmer has won multiple Gold Glove awards in his career, is a left-handed bat, has won a World Series and is considered a good influence in the clubhouse.
